Santa Is Coming

The choir is singing a spirited cantata About the angels harking the herald Shepherds are grazing flocks by night And three wise men are traveling afar While my brother, my sister, and me Can hardly wait to get home to bed For Santa is coming with loads of toys For all the good little girls and boys We know Christmas is so much more But it’s impossible to focus on it now Written December 20, 2021

I know from experience that the children are dying to open these presents even if they have already peeked and found them all.

LOL. That's true, Caren. Most times they can't find them all!

the childhood magic of christmas was indeed magical - shame when those innocent days go and even more so now when the real meaning of christmas is gone covered in wrapping paper and costly gifts, hugs Jan xx

Ah, such a sad truth, Jan. My sister-in-law told her three girls they were only getting three gifts apiece. After all, she said, if three gifts were good enough for the baby Jesus, it's good enough for you! A lot of merit to her way of thinking, eh?

I can fondly remember those times, I'll never forget when a school friend told me it's your parents who leave presents, I've never forgotten it. He emigrated to Australia, punishment for killing the magic lol. Tom

(chuckling) Thanks for your fun comment, Tom. I recall when my mom said when you stop believing in Santa something goes out of Christmas. Well, I still do. I just know who he is! Kids can be very cruel and say terrible things to their friends and not even realize the harm in it. Glad he got his punishment!!!
